Coffey (Coffee, Coffy) and Corcoran Families from the Townlands of Aghalustia and Roosky, Castlemore Civil Parish, County Roscommon, Ireland in Church, Census and Other Records
The Townlands of Aghalustia, Cappagh, Lissian and Roosky were part of Castlemore Civil Parish in County Mayo, Ireland when the Griffith's Valuation was conducted in 1857 for this area. Aghalustia is about 2.4 km northeast of Rooskey and just over 4 km southeast of Ballaghaderreen. Both Aghalustia and Rooskey were part of County Mayo until they were transferred to County Roscommon in a local government act that was implemented around 1840. Aghalustia contained about 1,180 acres and Roosky about 490 acres when the Griffith's Valuation was conducted. Aghalustia and Roosky are part of Artagh North DED (Electoral Division). The DED is useful information to locate cancelled books on Aghalustia and Roosky at the Valuation office in Dublin.
There were no Coffey or Corcoran Families (or variations) noted in the 1901 or 1911 Aghalustia, County Roscommon, Ireland census. There was however one Corcoran family that was repeated in both the 1901 and 1911 census for Roosky, County Roscommon Ireland and will be noted in the compilation below.
There were no Corcorans or Coffy's (or variations of the surnames) in the Griffith's valuation for Aghalustia or Roosky, County Roscommon Ireland when it was conducted in 1857, and the River Lung runs through both Townlands. There were quite a few bog parcels in both Roosky and Aghalustia and the Reverend Lord John De Freyne was the primary Landlord in both Townlands.
Please contact me if you feel your Corcoran or Coffey ancestors (or any of the surname variations) may have been from the Aghalustia or Roosky area so that we can put the pieces of the puzzles together. It is clear after researching the Irish microfilm for several years that the vast majority of Irish families in the mid 19th century were large, often as many as 8-10 kids. Somewhere out there are descendents of our Irish ancestor's siblings researching their individual branch of the tree. Working together we will all get our trees back further!
This is a work in progress and will be added to over time as I uncover other records to add to this compilation.
